Common questions from schools considering their first Tree-Plenish event.
No. There is no cost to your school to host a Tree-Plenish event. Residents in your community will pay to purchase tree saplings from your event ($5–$10). We will handle all the finances, so you won’t have to deal with collecting money or paying for saplings. You can make the trees free for your community by recruiting local sponsors. If cost is a problem for members of your community, let us know! Tree-Plenish has an environmental equity fund that can cover the cost of your saplings.
No. Tree-Plenish works with our national network of tree nursery partners to ship saplings to your school ahead of planting day. You focus on planning and running the event—we handle the tree sourcing and delivery logistics.
You can be an individual student, teacher, school club, or just a group of friends—we’re happy to work with any motivated team that is affiliated with a school or local community organization.
Planning runs through the school year, with the heaviest outreach in winter and the event in spring. Most teams spend a few hours per week during peak planning, with more time around planting day.

No. Tree-Plenish events take place in the spring and the planning occurs in the fall and winter.
Tree-Plenish events typically plant saplings in the yards of residents of their community. Occasionally, they will also plant on the property of their school, local business, and parks. During the winter, schools will use their custom event website to market their event to their community. Residents will sign up to receive saplings in their yard.
During the planning phase, schools can select species from a pre-curated list of native species that we offer. Tree-Plenish provides training to schools on how to select species that will thrive in their local environment. Each event typically plants three species.
Each event will set their own sapling goal at the beginning of the year that is based both on their school’s energy consumption and feasibility. There is significant variation in this goal across schools. On average, schools plant around 200 saplings but some plant as many as 1,000.
